The culminating activity is the final test for four IA battalions that have received 10 weeks of training from the BFS with oversight from Australian Army instructor assessors from Task Group Taji 8. The training enables the IA to continue operations against the threat of violent extremism and to prevent the resurgence of ISIS and its violent extremist ideology. (U.S. Army photo by Spc.
